* Randy "Big Daddy" Webster with Michael "Doc" Palecki is our opening act at Jazz for Justice. Big Daddy has played at every Jazz for Justice Event for the past 15 years bringing their Chicago Blues style performances, everyone hits the dance floor when Big Daddy wails.* The Longineu Parsons Ensemble is next. Longineu is back at Jazz for Justice after an absence of a few years, and you will be blown away by his soulful jazz style and his fine trumpet playing. Get ready to swing the afternoon away when Longineu plays* And flying in from Tokyo is Jazz Violinist extraordinaire, Mark Russell. If you have never heard Mark lift your soul with his violin, you just don't know what a great musician can do.
